Biography

I was born and raised in South Florida, and am currently living near DC. I was raised in a family that loves and appreciates the arts.

I never had an interest in making music until MAGfest 9. I barely play any instruments, but I did sing in choirs and took private lessons for 5 years. I am becoming familiar with the piano and guitar, and use Logic Pro 9.

If I can do anything else for OCRemix, hit me up and I'll see what I can do.

Ooooh this is pretty sweet! **ReMix Submission tips** You may want to try and vary the percussion a little bit. For most of the song it's the standard boom tish in the background. You don't have to go crazy with it, but I'd say maybe every 4 or 8 measures you add something a little more free form. It also kind of ends rather awkwardly. Maybe give it the standard rock ending just so it doesn't leave the listener hanging. **** Great work. Keep it up!

Man that fight against FireMan.EXE was pitiful! On a serious note this metal mix is pretty sweet. I love the harmony you used along with the main melody. It's a relatively conservative mix, save for the part in the middle, but it's varied enough to be its own track. More BN <3 please!

It might be a good idea to write your username on the MAGFest badge. I might also get some of those stickers seen at networking events, just for the heck of it (Office Depot is just right around the corner).

It certainly is a conservative remake, but I like that you kept the original ambiance of the source. For me, the added instruments come too late. I start off listening and think "Oh this guy just remade Dire Dire Docks," but it wasn't until a full minute into the song that I realize that this is a more substantial remix. I'd maybe cut or shorten the first loop of the source to bring the other instruments in sooner. The comments are spot on in the link with regards to the the cymbals. Tone them down just a bit. Nice song, bro (or sis)!

I didn't post my New Years Resolutions last year, but here they were (and how I did): -Finish that book. Done! -Graduate without any unforeseen problems. That also was a success. -Get a REAL job. It took 3 months of grueling job searching, unemployment and a low-paying (great) internship, but I got one! -Reach below 180 pounds. This did get accomplished, but has since climbed back up, though now its going back down again. Stability helps. -Compose at least one full piece. This I failed at, but I wasn't really able to given the things I was doing. Here's the resolutions for 2015. -Compose a choral piece for the WMGSO. -Improve physical wellness and stamina (no more target weight bullshit). -Keep working on the Sonic 25th Anniversary album. -Post more on OCRemix and hang with more cool people. -Get a raise (maybe!) -Keep studying Japanese and take/apply for the N5 JLPT. -Save enough money to buy something for myself. -Watch some good anime (or at least get a Crunchyroll account!)

I can now definitely confirm I'm going to MAGFest! I just got my ticket. Also, is anyone able to room up with me? If I can't share a room at the Gaylord (which is sold out), I'm going to grab a hotel room at the Hampton Inn next door. Deadline is Thanksgiving Day! Once again, I offer free housing (and only $10 for overnight parking) for anyone wishing to stay in the DC area before or after MAGFest (Thursday night and Tuesday night onwards). Q-pa and Bahamut can confirm my hospitality.

For those looking to participate in the album, here's a list of main series games (ie not handheld or spin-offs) that have yet to be claimed:
(technically they're two games on OCR)
(CAN YOU FEEL THE SUNSHINE!?!?!?!)
*shudders*
(crap game, great music)
($5 to whoever does any track BUT "Seven Rings in Hand")
Sonic and the Black Knight
(no "u" in colors cause 'merica)Sonic Gener...oh wait! Nevermind.
(note: this project will not accept the Zelda or Yoshi songs)

Ticket purchased! I'm willing to host anyone BEFORE and AFTER MAGFest here in DC, but you'll need to find your own room during MAGFest proper. That being said, who's interested in getting a room? EDIT: Also, are we able to get a block of rooms again?
